The short answer
Beleza By The Beach: what visitors should know first
Choose it for resort comfort, villas and a long list of on-site restaurants, with beach access by a private path. It is not on the sand: one guest reports a long walk to the sea, so check the distance and whether a buggy is offered.

Why it matters
Why Beleza By The Beach is worth your time
For visitors to Betalbatim, Beleza is the largest and best-documented hotel option. Its website, booking-site entries and venue listings give a consistent picture of a four-star boutique property with a wide choice of rooms, and it is part of the reason the village works for family holidays.
Its position, a few hundred metres inland among paddy fields, shapes the stay. You gain a quieter setting, two pools and a spacious compound; you lose the convenience of a room that opens onto the sand. For older travellers who want a pool, a spa, a doctor-friendly bed and a restaurant on the premises, that is often a fair trade, as long as you accept some walking or a shuttle to reach the sea.

How to experience it
Beleza By The Beach describes itself as a four-star resort in Thondwaddo with private access to Betalbatim Beach. Its room list ranges from superior rooms and loft rooms with balconies to terrace suites, villas and private-pool villas, all air-conditioned. There are two pools, a gym and the Espaço Divino spa, and the resort lists Nazaré as a beachfront restaurant for Goan seafood, plus Tentação for breakfast, Pavilhão, Paddy Bar and a separate restaurant, Juju.
The resort's own website says its restaurant is a short walk from the beach, and a guest review says the walk to the sea is long and the rooms do not overlook it. Take both seriously: this is a resort near the beach, not on it. If a sea view matters, ask which room faces water, and ask whether the path to the beach is lit and whether a buggy runs.
Families and groups use it for weddings and kids' activities, and the property highlights an EV charging point and beach clean-ups. Book a room in the main block if you want a short walk to the pool and restaurants, and a villa if you want privacy.
Plan with confidence
